Friday, Dec. 12, 2003 - 5:12 p.m. Yeah, tonight we are watching nephew Glen�s grade school basketball team play a �basketball game�. �Parenthesis� used, because it won�t much resemble the real thing. Hey, we try to check out what our young relatives do for their schools, so this one is on our agenda. Might be entertaining. Not for the level of play, but entertaining none the less. Yes, the camera is going with me. The light ought to be so low; using a flash will be a necessity. Hopefully, I won�t blind any of the youngsters while they are shooting the ball�. I dug up a few leeks from the garden at work today. Since the low was 12� last night, I thought they might be ruined. The defrosted in the Hillbilly truck all afternoon, leaving the cab smelling sweetly onion-y. They are also still edible, and should end up in eggs and maybe a chicken dish over the next few days. I left a few things in the ground way past usual this fall, just to see what would survive. The leeks have shown they can take a hard freeze (I figured they would). The snow peas are completely shriveled up and dead. I still have carrots in the ground. They are covered by about 6� of leaves, and should be fine until next spring if I want them to be. The broccoli has formed several small side shoots, but I doubt they grow any larger this winter. I could harvest all of the upper stalks, peel them, and then steam them for a side dish. Since they formed in the colder months, they are probably very tender and sweet. The last of the Brussels sprouts are still hanging on, looking slightly worse for wear. I didn�t harvest any of the heirloom purple variety, mainly because they formed such small sprouts (about the size of the last knuckle on up of your pinky to the size of the same joint on up of your thumb, to use a strange comparable). I picked one today (still partially frozen) and ate it. It was very good. Maybe I will have to harvest the tiny purple buds after all. Might be enough for a meal or two on the 5 plants that grew this summer and fall. This ends today�s Farm Report�. I�ll leave you with the following. I cropped it out of today�s The Top Five, but I left the copyright information at the bottom (to avoid another nasty lawsuit): The Top 20 Rejected TV Holiday Specials 20> The Osbourne Family *)&(#$%^& Christmas Blast!phemy 19> The Democratic Debate That Sucked Out All the Holiday Cheer 18> Runny the Snot Man 17> Grandma Got Run Over by a Steamroller: A "Jackass" Christmas 16> Michael Jackson's "Staying in Bed for the Holidays" With the Vienna Boys' Choir 15> The Little Dreidel Boy 14> Martha Stewart's Holiday Party You Couldn't Possibly Afford to Host 13> Last-Minute Bargain Shopping and Stocking Stuffing With Winona Ryder 12> Snoop Dogg's Very Mevizzle Christizzle 11> The Endorsement That Ruined Hanukkah for One Particular Presidential Candidate 10> It's Dubya With a Fake Turkey, Charlie Brown! 9> One Last Holiday With the Troops: A Bob Hope Cryptmas in Iraq 8> Al Franken narrates "Santa Claus Is a Big Fat Lying Idiot" 7> Don We Now Our Gay Apparel: A "Queer Eye" Christmas 6> A Rockin' Sockin' Bobby Brown Kwanzaa 5> A Cruisin' and Boozin' Christmas With Glen Campbell, Wynonna Judd and Nick Nolte 4> Go Kill It On the Mountain: A Ted Nugent Reindeer-Huntin' Holiday! 3> Dancer and Prancer's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" USO Spectacular 2> SpongeJesus SwaddlingPants and Topfive.com's Number 1 Rejected TV Holiday Special... 1> Santa, Live From Inside the Paris Hilton! [ The Top 5 List www.topfive.com ] [ Copyright 2003 by Chris White ] I just can�t believe MTV or VH1 haven�t already thought of #20 or #12. They do have �A Kid Rock Christmas� on this weekend�s programming, though. And if NBC or Bravo don�t have #7 on next Christmas, I will be very surprised��. 2� to 4� of the white, fluffy stuff is in the forecast for tomorrow. If you are near the snow, please remember to slow down. You don�t want to end up mounted on the tailgate hitch of a snowplow, do you?
